The fact that they are not primetime games takes a lot of the pressure off.

Also, no rights fee is a solid trade-off for the networks footing the bill for all the production and promotion of the league. That is what sunk AAF so quickly, and they had nowhere near the potentional audience XFL will have with Fox, ABC, and ESPN+ for streaming options.

I still don't feel there is a market for a secondary football league, but XFL has a much better foundation than AAF did, so if the football is decent, I can see it working out.

By working out I don't mean any major success, but I think if the bar is set at lasting more than one season, I think they have a good shot.
